Every Tyranid player needs to have one or three venomthropes on the tabletop
so this kit is perfect in that it gives a whole brood straight away. Zoanthropes
are awesome models too but on the battlefield they are kind of hit and miss with
their psychic powers but surprisingly pretty good at tarpitting enemy troops
because they are fearless and have a 3+ invulnerable save. In saying that
I suggest if you get this kit you should make the venomthropes first, they put
the old finecast venomthrope to shame and if you take three in your army list
and don't put them in the same brood, disperse them across your deployment and
give all those extra cover saves to everyone. I bought two kits from mighty ape
as soon as they were released and made three zoanthroes and three venomthropes.
The one problem I have with the kit is the price (games workshops rrp I mean).
The Tyrant Guard/Hive Guard kit is also $90aud and you only get three models but
at least they are bulky models. When I made my models from the venomthrope kit
they were a little smaller and slimmer than I was expecting, and even though
this is a double kit I dont think games workshop can justify nearly $100aud for
this kit unlike they almost can with the Tyrranofex or maybe Hive Tyrant kit
because those models are huge and kind of an army centerpiece. So thats why you
should buy it from Mighty Ape, that discount is nice especially if your buying
more than one of the same kit which I always do.

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Excellent kit easy to convert up extra models with a few spare parts.

Description

Warhammer 40,000 Tyranid Venomthropes/Zo­anthropes

This multi-part plastic kit assembles to make either 3 Tyranid
Venomthropes or 3 Tyranid Zoanthropes. It also
includes components to upgrade 1 model to a Neurothrope, an
even more deadly form of the Zoanthrope.
